I agree. So I fixed the theme I am using (ClearlooksClassic). The necessary information to do this is at http://developer.gnome.org/doc/tutorials/metacity/metacity-themes.html .
Short description of what I did: First fix the geometry: Find the element describing the geometry of maximized windows. In my case it is <frame_geometry name="normal_maximized" ... >. These elements contain two elements, if not you need to copy the border element from the parent geometry. Change the value of the button_border top attribute to 0. Subtract the same value from the title_border top attribute. After this step the buttons occupy the top row, but the rendering may be off. The drawing needs to be fixed both for the focused and the non focused state. The drawing instructions are in my case described in <draw_ops name="bevel_maximized_unfocused"> and <draw_ops name="bevel_maximized">. Subtract the value from the previous step from any x1 and x2 attributes present in the operations. ** Attachment added: "The fixed ClearlooksClassic theme." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity-themes/+bug/575339/+attachment/1763588/+files/metacity-theme-1.xml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/575339 Title: Close button not in the corner of the screen in most themes -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
